11-0 Brooklyn heavyweight prospect Pryce Taylor developing his skills at Deontay Wilder and Andrii Novytskyi PhilBoxing.com Fri, 27 Mar 2026  Deontay Wilder (first row second in from left) and Pryce Taylor (second row, second in from the left), chilled with coaches and sparring partners after a recent session. NEW YORK CITY (March 26, 2026) – Rising undefeated heavyweight prospect Pryce Taylor (11-0, 7 KOs) has been gaining invaluable experience attending week-long training camps this month to be a sparring partner for past World Heavyweight Champion Deontay “The Bronze Bomber” Wilder (44-4-1, 43 KOs) and undefeated Ukrainian heavyweight prospect Andrii “Rampage” Novytskyi (15-0, 11 KOs). “When I’m invited to training camps,” the 29-year-old Taylor said, “it’s because they need good sparring. Usually, I don’t train with them, but I did work out with Andrii, and Wilder would hang out with us (4 sparring partners) after sparring him a few rounds, one of us right after the other. I learn better sparring and eventually I’m going to fight guys like them who are tall and move fast. I learned how to get inside faster at these last two camps.” The 6’ 6”, 245-pound Novytskyi faces 6’ 4”, 260-pound Alexander Flores (21-5-1, 19 KOs) tomorrow night (Friday, Mar. 27) in Long Beach, California. Taylor (6’4”, 275-pounds) said they brought him to the Los Angeles training camp on March 7 because of his similar size to Flores and that they fought two Team Boxing League matches in 2023 (Flores on the LA Elite team, Taylor for NYC Attitude), splitting a pair of decisions. Two days after he left LA, Taylor arrived at Wilder’s much different training camp, at his spacious mansion in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. The world heavyweight champion from 2015-2020, Wilder was preparing for his 12-round fight on April 4th against (6’, 1”, 260-pound) Derek “War” Chisora (36-13, 23 KOs) at O2 Arena in Greenwich, United Kingdom. “Wilder was inspiring,” Taylor gushed. “His mansion had a gym, basketball court, lake and a ferry to cross it. I got to see what could eventually come from my career. I wasn’t surprised by what he had, but I was surprised by how cool he is. He hung out with us (sparring partners) and gave us all a lot of good advice. He said he liked my style and that was really cool to hear. I resemble Chisora in the ring and that’s why they brought me to camp.” Taylor admitted he got a small taste of what could be his future. Taylor is tentatively slated to fight May 9th in Atlanta. Keith Sullivan, a former New York State Athletic Commission Deputy Commissioner, also manages undefeated 3-time, 2-division World Champion Miyo Yoshida (18-5), Bronx NYPD officer Nisa Rodriguez (4-1, 2 KOs), Albanian heavyweight Kristian Prenga (20-1, 20 KOs), lightweight Fei Faiva (6-0-1, 4 KOs) and junior featherweight prospect Brooklyn “The Big Deal” Barwick (4-1, 4 KOs). Sullivan co-manages IBF Welterweight World title challenger Paddy “The Real Deal” Donovan (14-2, 11 KOs) and his cousin, middleweight Jim Donovan (2-0, 1 KO), alongside coach and ex-world champion Andy Lee.
